<\/p>\nFor you purists out there, the idiom “as easy as pie” refers to the act of eating a pie, which is supposedly very easy. But you can’t eat a pie without somebody having made the pie. I haven’t made a pie before, but I can assume that making a pie is much harder than eating a pie.<\/p>\n
In this sensor(y) metaphor, you make the pie. Preferably, the tasks that the patch will ask of the user will not be easy for irony’s sake.<\/p>\n
Naturally, I’ll need to research how to make pies as I am no cook (though, I think pies are a baker’s thing; cooking and baking are two separate arts, just as leopards and cheetahs are two very different animals).<\/p>\n
The patch will definitely use a controller for input, though may use other input methods depending on where I want to go with it and how many phases I’m willing to make for it.<\/p>\n
Phases may include preparing the crust, preheating the oven, filling the pie, and baking the pie.<\/p>\n
Here are some shitty mockups. Actual art assets will be drawn not in MS Paint.<\/p>\n

Some technical things that I’ll need to do is set up a state system to control what interaction is expected and to prevent other actions from occurring when they shouldn’t. I’ll also have to set up failure states and a reset system. I suspect the hardest part to implement will be the filling the pie phase as we had not needed to implement drag and drop mechanics in Max before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
